Grabbing a App scoped container from a request scoped container?

[tvallotton]

Hi, is there a way to get an App scoped container from a request scope container?

I have this use case where a service spawns a long running task, and I would like this long running task to be in its own REQUEST scope. My services are part of an HTTP server, and most of them have a database connection as a dependency. The database connections are a REQUEST scoped dependency, and they are acquired from a pool which is an APP scoped dependency. When I spawn a task, I would like that task to have its own database connection, so it can run concurrently, and can outlive the request's scope.

Now, I can also list the Container as a dependency too. So I'm wondering, can I make that container be app scoped?

It seems I can access the app container with the parent_container attribute.

Yes, you can just get parent_container, for Scope.REQUEST it will be attached Scope.SESSION.

From my experience, I'd rather have some "task manager" class created for Scope.APP and holding Container instance itself

Yeah, that's in fact what I ended up doing. Thanks!
